"What's going on? Why aren't the Elemental Devices working?"
Countless Moon Stone Demons awoke from the rock walls. Nan Jue's face immediately turned grave.
These Moon Stone Demons were massive. At this rate, the exit would soon be completely blocked by them.
At that moment, Lu Yilin rushed over from behind.
Zhao Manyan looked back at Lu Yilin and saw that Mo Fan was nowhere in sight. Immediately, he demanded:
"Why are you alone? Where's Mo Fan?"
Lu Yilin, still immersed in anger and the excitement of revenge, had no intention of answering Zhao Manyan.
Ai Jiangtu keenly noticed the bloodshot in Lu Yilin's eyes and immediately frowned.
"You all retreat first. I'll go rescue Mo Fan," Zhou Haoyu told everyone.
"I'll go with you," Zhao Manyan immediately said.
"No need. Taking you along would only be troublesome. Ai Jiangtu, lead them out of this Gobi Valley first."
With that, Zhou Haoyu disappeared from sight with a Blink.
"The captain's strength is more than enough. Let's wait outside for them."
Under Ai Jiangtu's lead, the group successfully broke through the surrounding Moon Stone Demons.
After leaving the Gobi Valley, their hearts gradually calmed from the terror.
Although these Moon Stone Demons weren't exceptionally strong, if trapped in the valley, they could easily exhaust and kill the team over time.
At this point, Zhao Manyan grabbed Lu Yilin by the collar, snarling, "You bastard! Did you mess with the devices?!"
"Let go of me! I don't know what you're talking about."
Lu Yilin's tone lacked confidence, but at this point, he could only deny it to the death.
Seeing this, Zhao Manyan's fury erupted. He wished he could punch him on the spot.
"Will the captain be okay?" Nan Rongni asked with a worried expression.
"Don't worry. With the captain's strength, dealing with these Moon Stone Demons is easy."
Jiang Yu remained calm. He had complete faith in Zhou Haoyu's abilities.
"Boom~~!!!"
The group suddenly felt vibrations underfoot, followed by successive explosions from the Gobi Valley.
The sound grew closer, accompanied by surging fire and lightning elements.
Soon, Zhou Haoyu appeared with Mo Fan in view of the group.
Everyone hurried forward, only to be stunned by the scene inside the Gobi Valley.
Countless remnants of the Moon Stone Demons were almost filling the entire valley.
Before anyone could react further, Mo Fan had already reached Lu Yilin.
Mo Fan's life principle was to repay grievances. Since Lu Yilin intended to kill him, he would finish him first.
"Ouch, what are you doing?"
Seeing Mo Fan approaching with murderous intent, Lu Yilin was terrified and fell to the ground.
"Mo Fan, don't be impulsive. We should report this to the mentors and let them handle it. He definitely won't end well."
Ai Jiangtu stepped forward, not to protect Lu Yilin, but to prevent Mo Fan from getting into trouble.
Lu Yilin had the Lu family backing him. If Mo Fan killed him, the Lu family would never forgive him.
Others also tried to dissuade Mo Fan, reminding him that stepping back could avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Mo Fan still had no intention of letting Lu Yilin go.
In the end, Mo Fan used Psychokinesis to throw Lu Yilin into the Gobi Valley.
Zhou Haoyu flickered, and the next moment, appeared above the Gobi Valley.
Looking down, one could see Lu Yilin completely surrounded by the Moon Stone Demons.
[Activation Conditions: Met.]
[Activating.]
[Obtained Soul of the Fire Phoenix.]
"Soul of the Fire Phoenix?"
Zhou Haoyu murmured to himself. This would be quite suitable for forging a Cursed Borrowed Body Armor Artifact.
This Fire Phoenix must at least be Supreme Monarch-level, right?
After claiming the reward, Zhou Haoyu used Blink to return to the team.
"Captain, I thought you were going to rescue that guy," Mo Fan said.
If Zhou Haoyu really intended to save Lu Yilin, Mo Fan would indeed have been powerless.
Zhou Haoyu didn't offer any explanation. Lu Yilin was dead, and it didn't matter anyway.
"Move on," Zhou Haoyu said calmly.
"Another four kilometers ahead, we should be able to see the Ruins Ancient City. The elemental reactions here are getting stronger, especially the wind and lightning elements,"
Nan Jue said, holding two devices in his hands.
"Look ahead!" Zhao Manyan shouted, pointing forward.
Everyone immediately gazed in that direction and was stunned to see a tornado piercing the clouds, standing between heaven and earth with immense visual impact.
They couldn't help but gasp!
The tornado was massive, accompanied by purplish-golden lightning, almost occupying their entire field of view.
"What a magnificent lightning element. Training here would definitely be twice as efficient,"
Zhou Haoyu said casually.
Hearing this, the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. Facing such a terrifying extreme environment, he was still thinking about training.
Truly, the captain is extraordinary!
"Captain, should we rest for a night first?" Nan Jue asked.
"Sure," Zhou Haoyu nodded.
Next, the group found a relatively open area and set up tents.
Early the next morning, they set off toward the Ruins Ancient City.
Upon reaching the city, they immediately began searching, hoping to find some treasures.
Unfortunately, there wasn't even a decent Magic Stone to be found.
Suddenly, Zhou Haoyu furrowed his brow. Through his psychic perception, he sensed tens of thousands of strange birds sweeping toward them.
"A monster flock is approaching. Prepare to engage."
Zhou Haoyu shouted to everyone.
Hearing this, the group instantly became alert, abandoning their search for treasure.
"Chit!!"
"Chit-chit!!!"
Countless strange birds with emerald bodies and blue wings converged from all directions, clearly targeting them.
Except for Zhou Haoyu, who remained calm, the others were terrified.
"Captain, can you handle them?"
Zhao Manyan hurried to Zhou Haoyu's side. He was their greatest support.
The others also gathered around Zhou Haoyu. Facing such a massive monster flock, only he still had the strength to fight.
"I'll hold them off. You all go to the storm's center first."
After saying this, Zhou Haoyu's wind-and-lightning dual wings appeared, and he charged directly into the flock of strange birds.
The next moment, Jiang Feng emerged from the Contract Space. Countless Blazing Flames descended from the sky, instantly killing hundreds of the birds.
Everyone was shocked by the scene.
"Is that the captain's contracted beast?" Nan Rongni asked, astonished.
Its strength must be Monarch-level, right? Even if not, it's definitely close.
Even high-level summoners might not have such a powerful contracted beast.
"No, I heard the captain mention this before. It's the Flame Witch of the Northern Corner of the Blazing Plains, temporarily residing in the captain's Contract Space,"
Jiang Yu explained.
